Bloom!

This Saturday was an annual event that Fellowship puts on for the 6th-12th grade students and the woman who love them (mothers, grandmothers, youth leaders, etc.)...it's called Bloom. I had the pleasure of taking a small group of girls from the student ministry with me this year. We had an amazing time together! Half of the fun was dressing up, which we decided that we would all wear black and I bought us matching pink scarves. The Bloom colors are pink and black, so we were definately in the theme. You know me and themes! We were blessed by an array of different gifted female speakers from Fellowship, who spoke about everything from fashion to sex to manners to seeing yourself through God's eyes...it was good stuff. The girls loved it and so did I. We got to end the conference praying over all the girls, which was a definate highlight for me! The pictures are of most of us, although we are missing a few, before the event. From left to right we have Marissa, me, Jenny, Moe and Kellie...aren't they cute! Today a bunch of us skipped out of church at Grapevine and went to the downtown campus in Dallas. The church is much smaller, with a younger population and such a great artsy feel to the building...I loved it! I'm definately going to do that more often. I really enjoy downtown Dallas and am realizing that I need to hang out down there to really take advantage of the city life.
